This is a preliminary report on the continuous action of convergence groups on convergence spaces. In par- ticular, the convergence structure on the homeomorphism group and its continuous action are investigated in this pa- per. Also, attempts have been made to establish a one-to-one correspondence between continuous action of a convergence group and its homeomorphic representation on a convergence space. 1. Introduction In algebra, a homomorphism of a group G into the symmetric group S(Ω) of all permutations on the phase space Ω is known as a permutation representation of G on Ω [5]. It is also known that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the permu- tation representations of G on Ω and the actions of G on Ω: If Ω = X is a compact or a locally compact topological space and G is a topological group, then there is a one-to-one correspondence between continuous homomorphisms of a topological group G into the homeomorphism group H(X) and the continuous group actions of G on X [12]: However, for general topological spaces this one-to- one correspondence is not available, since in such case H(X) does not have a group topology which is admissible [11]. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification.

Homeomorphism group, continuous group action, convergence space, limit space, pseudotopology. 601 602 NANDITA RATH So in establishing such a one-to-one correspondence between con- tinuous representations and continuous group actions of a topolog- ical group, the question of existence of an appropriate geometric structure on X which induces an admissible and compatible struc- ture on H(X) is crucial. Recently, Di Concilio [4] has proved that a Tychonoff space X; which is also rim-compact induces an admis- sible and compatible topological structure on H(X): This result can be further generalized by replacing the topology by a special type of convergence structure [10]. In Section 4 of this paper the author tries to investigate the nature of convergence structure on H(X) corresponding to the existing convergence structure on X: In Section 5 attempts have been made to establish a one-to-one corre- spondence between the homeomorphic representations and contin- uous group actions of a special type of convergence group, called limit group. 2. Preliminaries For basic definitions and terminologies related to filters the reader is referred to [14], though a few of the definitions and notations, which are frequently used will be mentioned here. Let F(X) de- note the collection of all filters on X and P(X) denote all the subsets of X: If B is a base [14] of the filter , then is said to be generated by B and we write = [B]: ForF each x F X; x_ = [ x ] is the fixed ultra filter containingF x . If and 2 F(X)f andg F G = φ for all F , G f, theng F denotesG 2 the filter generated\ 6 by F G :2F F and2 GG F_G. If F and G such that F Gf =\φ, then2 we F say that 2 Gg fails9 to2 exist F .

It should be noted that all these ax- − − ioms are not independent. For example, (c1)and (c4) imply (c3) and (c2)and (c6) imply (c5):Convergence space, limit space, pseu- dotopological space, pretopological space and topological space are defined likewise. More details on convergence spaces and related topics can be found in [9]. Note that limit spaces used to be called convergence spaces by Binz [2], Park [10] and several contemporary topologists.

F ! 1 is a homeomorphism, if it is bijective and f − is also continuous. The set H(X) (respectively, C(X)) denotes the set of all self home- omorphisms (respectively, continuous functions) on X. H(X) forms a group with respect to composition of maps. Next, another important category of spaces is introduced which exists in literature mostly as a means to generalize the comple- tion theory for uniform spaces [13]. For a detailed information on Cauchy spaces the reader is referred to [9]. Definition 2.2. Let C be a set of filters on a set X. The pair (X; C) is called a Cauchy space, if (1)x _ C, for each x X.

Convergence Groups Convergence groups, especially limit groups have been studied in detail in the last half century. For clarity of notations and ter- minologies the reader is referred to [6, 8, 10].

  • Diagonal Cauchy Spaces D.C
    BULL. AUSTRAL. MATH. SOC. 54E15, 54D10, 54D35, 54A20 VOL. 54 (1996) [255-265] DIAGONAL CAUCHY SPACES D.C. KENT AND G.D. RICHARDSON A diagonal condition is defined which internally characterises those Cauchy spaces which have topological completions. The T? diagonal Cauchy spaces allow both a finest and a coarsest T2 diagonal completion. The former is a completion functor, while the latter preserves uniformisability and has an extension property relative to ^-continuous maps. INTRODUCTION In 1954, Kowalsky [2] defined a diagonal axiom for convergence spaces subject to which every pretopological space is topological. In 1967, Cook and Fischer [1] gave a stronger version of the Kowalsky axiom relative to which a larger class of convergence spaces was shown to be topological. In [4], we showed that any convergence space satisfying the Cook-Fischer diagonal axiom is topological. In this paper, we introduce a diagonal axiom for Cauchy spaces which reduces to the Cook-Fischer axiom when the Cauchy space is complete. A diagonal Cauchy space is one which satisfies this axiom. We show that a Cauchy space is diagonal if and only if every Cauchy equivalence class contains a smallest Cauchy filter, and this smallest Cauchy filter has a base of open sets. Equivalently, a Cauchy space is diagonal if and only if it allows a diagonal (that is, topological) completion. The category of diagoaal Cauchy spaces and Cauchy continuous maps is shown to be a topological category. It is shown that a Ti diagonal Cauchy space has both a finest and a coarsest T2 diagonal completion. The "fine diagonal completion" determines a completion functor on the category of T2, diagonal Cauchy spaces.

This technical report summarized facts from the basic theory of filter convergence spaces and gives detailed proofs for them. Many of the results collected here are well known for various types of spaces. We have made no attempt to find the original proofs. 1. Introduction Mathematical notions such as convergence, continuity, and separation are, at textbook level, usually associated with topological spaces. It is possible, however, to introduce them in a much more abstract way, based on axioms for convergence instead of neighborhood. This approach was explored in seminal work by Choquet [4], Hausdorff [12], Katˇetov [14], Kent [16], and others. Here we give a brief introduction to this line of reasoning. While the material is well known to specialists it does not seem to be easily accessible to non-topologists. In some cases we include proofs of elementary facts for two reasons: (i) The most basic facts are quoted without proofs in research papers, and (ii) the proofs may serve as examples to see the rather abstract formalism at work. 2. Sets and Filters Let X be a set, P(X) its power set, and H ⊆ P(X).

  • Minimal Convergence Spaces
    transactions of the american mathematical society Volume 160, October 1971 MINIMAL CONVERGENCE SPACES BY D. C. KENT AND G. D. RICHARDSON Abstract. We are primarily concerned with minimal P convergence spaces, where P is one of the following convergence space properties: HausdorfT, T2, A-regular, A-Urysohn, and first countable, A an infinite cardinal number. Our conclusions usually resemble the corresponding topological results, but with some deviations ; for instance, a minimal HausdorfT convergence space is always compact, whereas a countable minimal regular convergence space need not be compact. Introduction. Minimal topological spaces have been extensively studied by various authors (see references). We now extend this study to convergence spaces. The reader is asked to refer to [9] for basic definitions and terminology concerning convergence spaces. However, a brief summary will be given here. A convergence structure qona set S is defined to be a function from the set F(S) of all filters on S into the set of all subsets of S, satisfying the following conditions : (1) x eq(x), all xe S, where x is the principal ultrafilter containing {x}; (2) if & and <Sare in F(S) and ¿F^ <S,then q(^)<=-q(^)\ (3) if x e q(&), then x e q(& n x). The pair (S, q) is called a convergence space. If x e q(&r), then we say that & q-converges to x. The filter ^q(x) obtained by intersecting all filters which ^-converge to x is called the q-neighborhoodfilter at x. lf^q(x) ^-converges to x for each x in S, then q is called a pretopology, and (S, q) a pretopological space.

Name: Jan Harm van der Walt Date: February 2009 ii Title Generalized solutions of systems of nonlinear partial differential equations Name Jan Harm van der Walt Supervisor Prof E E Rosinger Co-supervisor Prof R Anguelov Department Mathematics and Applied Mathematics Degree Philosophiae Doctor Summary In this thesis, we establish a general and type independent theory for the existence and regularity of generalized solutions of large classes of systems of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). In this regard, our point of departure is the Order Completion Method. The spaces of generalized functions to which the solutions of such systems of PDEs belong are constructed as the completions of suitable uniform convergence spaces of normal lower semi-continuous functions. It is shown that large classes of systems of nonlinear PDEs admit generalized solutions in the mentioned spaces of generalized functions. Furthermore, the gener- alized solutions that we construct satisfy a blanket regularity property, in the sense that such solutions may be assimilated with usual normal lower semi-continuous functions. These fundamental existence and regularity results are obtain as applica- tions of basic topological processes, namely, the completion of uniform convergence spaces, and elementary properties of real valued continuous functions.

One approach generalizes the Fischer’s diagonal condition, the other approach extends the Gähler’s neighborhood condition. Then the relationships between p-topologicalness in >-convergence spaces and p-topologicalness in stratified L-generalized convergence spaces are established. Furthermore, the lower and upper p-topological modifications in >-convergence spaces are also defined and discussed. In particular, it is proved that the lower (resp., upper) p-topological modification behaves reasonably well relative to final (resp., initial) structures. Keywords: fuzzy topology; fuzzy convergence; lattice-valued convergence; >-convergence space; relative topologicalness; p-topologcalness; diagonal condition; neighborhood condition 1. Introduction The theory of convergence spaces [1] is natural extension of the theory of topological spaces. The topologicalness is important in the theory of convergence spaces since it mainly researches the condition of a convergence space to be a topological space. Generally, two equivalent approaches are used to characterize the topologicalness in convergence spaces. One approach is stated by the well-known Fischer’s diagonal condition [2], the other approach is stated by Gähler’s neighborhood condition [3]. In [4], by considering a pair of convergence spaces (X, p) and (X, q), Wilde and Kent investigated a kind of relative topologicalness, called p-topologicalness. When p = q, p-topologicalness is equivalent to topologicalness in convergence spaces.

Averbukh* On finest unitary extensions of topological monoids Abstract: We prove that the Wyler completion of the unitary Cauchy space on a given Hausdorff topological monoid consisting of the underlying set of this monoid and of the family of unitary Cauchy filters on it, is a T2-topological space and, in the commutative case, an abstract monoid containing the initial one. Keywords: topological monoid, Cauchy space, completion MSC: 22A15, 54D35, 54E15 DOI 10.1515/taa-2015-0001 Received September 11, 2014; accepted November 11, 2014. Introduction For an arbitrary Hausdorff topological monoid, the concept of a unitary Cauchy filter (for brevity, wecallthem C-filters) which was defined in [1], generalizes the notion of a fundamental sequence of reals. Itwasproved in [1] that the underlying set X of this monoid X endowed with the family of such filters forms a Cauchy space called a unitary Cauchy space over X. Its convergence structure defines a T 1 -topology on X which is also 3 2 said to be unitary. In this paper, we begin the consideration of unitary completions of this monoid, i.e. such its extensions where all its C-filters converge. We use some principal ideas of the theory of Cauchy spaces but almost donot use its results since stronger statements are true in our case. However, we adduce all necessary definitions to make the paper as self-contained as it is possible. Each Cauchy space has many completions which have been studied in papers of many authors (see [2– 11]).

  • Net Convergence Structures with Applications to Vector Lattices
    NET CONVERGENCE STRUCTURES WITH APPLICATIONS TO VECTOR LATTICES M. O’BRIEN, V.G. TROITSKY, AND J.H. VAN DER WALT Abstract. Convergence is a fundamental topic in analysis that is most commonly modelled using topology. However, there are many natural convergences that are not given by any topology; e.g., convergence almost everywhere of a sequence of measurable functions and order convergence of nets in vector lattices. The theory of convergence structures provides a framework for study- ing more general modes of convergence. It also has one particu- larly striking feature: it is formalized using the language of filters. This paper develops a general theory of convergence in terms of nets. We show that it is equivalent to the filter-based theory and present some translations between the two areas. In particular, we provide a characterization of pretopological convergence structures in terms of nets. We also use our results to unify certain topics in vector lattices with general convergence theory. 1. Introduction Convergence is an important part of the toolkit for anyone working in functional analysis, where many deep properties are often expressed in terms of convergent nets and sequences. While convergence is often associated with topology, it has long been known that there are impor- arXiv:2103.01339v1 [math.FA] 1 Mar 2021 tant convergences that are not topological: it was shown in [Ord66] that convergence almost everywhere is not given by a topology. Further- more, there are several important non-topological convergences in the theory of vector lattices, including order convergence, uo-convergence, and relative uniform convergence. The theory of convergence structures was developed in order to han- dle non-topological convergences.

  • M. KULA, T3 and T4-Objects in the Topological Category of Cauchy
    Commun. Fac. Sci. Univ. Ank. Sér. A1 Math. Stat. Volume 66, Number 1, Pages 29—42 (2017) DOI: 10.1501/Commua1_0000000772 ISSN 1303—5991 T3 AND T4-OBJECTS IN THE TOPOLOGICAL CATEGORY OF CAUCHY SPACES MUAMMER KULA Abstract. There are various generalization of the usual topological T3 and T4 axioms to topological categories defined in [2] and [7]. [7] is shown that they lead to different T3 and T4 concepts, in general. In this paper, an explicit characterization of each of the separation properties T3 and T4 is given in the topological category of Cauchy spaces. Moreover, specific relationships that arise among the various Ti, i = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, P reT2, and T2 structures are examined in this category. 1. Introduction In general topology and analysis, a Cauchy space is a generalization of metric spaces and uniform spaces for which the notion of Cauchy convergence still makes sense. When filters came into existence and uniform spaces were introduced, Cauchy filters appeared in topological theory as a generalization of Cauchy sequences. The theory of Cauchy spaces was initiated by H. J. Kowalsky [26]. Cauchy spaces were introduced by H. Keller [22] in 1968, as an axiomatic tool derived from the idea of a Cauchy filter in order to study completeness in topological spaces. In that paper the relation between Cauchy spaces, uniform convergence spaces, and convergence spaces was developed. In the completion theory of uniform convergence spaces and convergence vector spaces, Cauchy spaces play an essential role ([19], [25], [39]). This fact explain why most work on Cauchy spaces deals mainly with completions ([17], [18], [29]).
